raṁga ḍāro na, laṁgara nai sārī re!
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Restraining Shyāmasundara from throwing colour on her on the occasion of Holī, a gopī says to Him, “Oh Naughty Shyāmasundara! I am wearing a new sari, therefore do not throw colour on it. My husband is very bad-tempered; he will surely set You straight in a minute. Along with this, my mother in-law will extricate me from the house and even my mother will not keep me in her home. This incident will spread very fast like fire throughout Braja and all the people will laugh at me clapping their hands. Besides, ever-new rumours are heard about You everyday that You throw amorous glances at other men’s wives.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, the gopī adds, “Oh Shyāmasundara! Then, our mutual love which is a secret till now will be exposed to all.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
raṁga ḍāro na, laṁgara nai sārī re!
lei nikāri tori ṭhakurāī, hauṁ jākī gharavārī re!
dei nikāri sāsa mohiṁ ghara te, ghara na rākha mahatārī re!
bāta phaili jaihaiṁ dina dvai meṁ, saba haṁsihaiṁ dai tārī re!
nita nai charachā hoya tihārī, takata rahata paranārī re!
taba ‘kripālu’ khuli jāya bheda saba, hama douna kī yārī re!
